The JFK Library and Museum building was selected as our home page picture for several reasons. First because it is an important and beautiful building by architect I.M. Pei in our local Boston setting. But mainly because it represents the many types of energy project challenges that EE&D Inc. is capable of resolving.
- Technical Challenge; to reduce the energy consumption and improve the mechanical systems operation in a building that includes both open public spaces and climate controlled museum spaces.
- Construction Challenge; to complete a construction project in a building that is open to the public and the venue for many high profile public and political events.
-
Architectural Challenge; Upgrade mechanical and lighting systems and provide control of different indoor air quality requirements without detracting in any way from the beauty of the building or the ambience of the museum tour experience.
-
Operations Challenge; In addition to being a library and museum, the facility conducts important research and restoration work of priceless papers and artifacts. The energy project, from development through construction could not put any of this work at any risk in any way at any time.
